We are an animal rescue. We have 2 checking accounts and 2 corresponding A/R and A/P accounts. One account is for strictly grant funds, so there is a Grant Receivable account and Grants Payable. The 2nd account is for all other expenses, so they are the standard A/R and A/P.
We have a grant that allows us to pay for spay or neuter of cats and dogs. Cats are paid in full, dogs have a $75.00 co-pay. Our veterinarian charges all our expenses to our credit card. When we are billed for the dogs, our vet will credit us the $75 when a co-payment is made, then charge us the full spay/neuter charge. It is easier for them, terribly confusing for me trying to keep track of which co-payment goes with who. Especially when I don't get any of the invoices/credits.
When we receive our billing statement, our vet will charge us for any services done since the last billing, including the co-pay credits.
On one particular statement, we were charged $125.00 for a cat and credited $150.00 for 2 co-payments as well as about $170.00 for all other services. My CC was charged $145.00 total (125-150+170=145). The problem is, the remaining $25.00 credit, remaining in the Grants Payable account from the co-pays, was used against the $170.00 in the A/P account.
How do I transfer the $25.00 credit from the Grants Payable side to the regular A/R side and have it reduce the unused credits available in the Bill Payments screen under the Grants Payable. Or, how do I get QB to allow me to show the $25.00 credit on my CC, and then I can pay the $170.00 bills. That would balance me out to $140.00.
Without a solution to this issue, I can't reconcile my CC.
Thank you
Because of the way QB works, Vendor Bills are only charged against the standard A/P account. What you might be able to do is create a Bill whose line item is your second A/P account. (I have not tried this yet), then the charges that are for your second A/P will get credited to that A/P as well as create a Bill that can be paid with a cc charge or check against regular A/P. You may or may not need a dummy bank clearing account to complete the process but try the Bill against A/P (you can only have one A/P charge line item and it must have a name attached per transaction)
Hi John-pero
I finally got the issue resolved, using much of what you suggested. What I did was, create a dummy bill, in the vendor's name, itemized it as an adjustment, for the $25 that remained in the Grants Payable account. Then applied it to the $25 credit. That cleared the remaining $25 in the credits. I then created a credit under the A/P side for the same $25, again itemizing it as an adjustment. I then paid the $170, took the $25 credit against the bills and ended up with the $145 I needed to pay. Not the neatest thing in the world, but at least it worked.
Thanks
